sometimes they’re shy, covering themselves with shells. that’s how you spot them, look for the piles of shells in the turtle grass. sea urchins don’t have hands, so how do they get the shells to stay on top of them? hmmm… another mystery to ponder. ﻿

they come in different colours. and they pulsate when you pick them up. i know they are supposed to be edible, but i think i’ll pass. ﻿
